hello from

thailand!

Greetings from the land of turquoise waters, rocky islands, private beaches, and top-notch adventures! Our Thailand Adventure Retreat was simply incredible, and we are now ready to share more – just scroll down!

welcome to

thailand!

Our Thailand Adventure Retreat was based in Southern Thailand, outside of Krabi Town near Thalane Bay. We chose this location because of the easy access it provides to so many adventures, including swimming with the bioluminescent plankton, kayaking through mangrove canyons, exploring temples, and visiting countless pristine islands and beaches.
Here’s just a taste of our fantastic adventures in lush, vibrant, Thailand…

secret beach

breakfast!

we spent our first morning together traveling on a longtail boat to secret beach where we had breakfast, splashed around and explored the coast, and got to know each other!

Brittany curated the most magical vacation that my husband and I will never forget. Before the trip, we received a beautiful embroidered towel from Brittany in the mail, increasing our anticipation. After a long flight, the most thrilling adventure awaited us in the cozy resort, “Banana Bungalows,” nestled in the quaint town called “Krabi” right along the most beautiful water. The sweetest dogs and best owner met us, and we were given the cutest bungalow. As a travel enthusiast, I was excited to leave the planning up to Brittany, who over-delivered! The itinerary was perfectly set, with the best locations and food Krabi could offer. The vacation itself was only second to the most fantastic group of people we now call lifelong friends. They made our experience even better—especially with the warm celebration of my husband’s birthday. Brittany even got him a cake! This was—by far—the best vacation ever, and we must suggest that everyone experience one of Brittany’s trips! We are excited to spend many more with the community that Brittany has built through The Yoga Underground!

These retreats have changed my life & the way I view traveling, especially solo as a mixed, curvy woman. I love meeting new people, both from the retreats & the locals. I love that we get to experience new cultures, food & their way of living. This is my 2nd time in Thailand with Britt & I didn’t think it could get better but it did. Thank you for your added touch of sparkle & always ensuring us the best time of our lives! i will swim in bioluminescent plankton & hike up mountains with you any day! I love you so much!

tiger cave

temple!

tiger cave temple sits on top of a mountain & up 1260 stairs! the view is worth it though, especially at sunset – we promise!

this retreat was absolute paradise. anytime we went on any excursion i just remember smiling looking around thinking is this a dream because it was all too perfect and then combined with the people involved in the group were some of the best most genuine humans feeling so blessed and grateful after coming home!

railay

beach!

only accessible by boat, railay beach is full of secret coves, rocky beaches – and sneaky monkeys that will steal your snacks! we spent a whole day here, exploring and relaxing and sipping fresh juice and smoothies:)

I considered myself fairly well travelled, but I was not prepared for the near constant sense of wonder and awe that I experienced on this trip. I was delighted over and over by the unique experiences, the scenery, the local people, my fellow adventurers, the accommodations, and of course the FOOD. I can’t wait for my next adventure with TYU!!

hippie camp

sunrise!

the most perfect place to watch sunrise over the iconic misty south Thailand mountains, here we enjoyed coffee and breakfast prepared by the sweetest local thai family before heading out for a day on the islands…
It’s so hard to choose a favorite part of the trip. The energy was incredible! I loved being immersed in the culture, exploring stunning temples, trying new food, seeing beautiful scenery, and having a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Every moment was filled with fun, new experiences, and unforgettable memories! Life changing.

the island

tour!

we spent a day on longtail boats relaxing on islands & beaches, snorkeling with the brightest-colored fish – and enjoying fresh coconut ice cream!

I don’t know what magic curated this group of people but all the retreaters and the staff of the bungalow have to have been heaven sent! The activities from night markets, steam pools, the meals and the quiet moments in the mornings were so beautiful and exciting and filled with fun and love! Our morning at the Hippie Cafe really brought it all together for me with the stunning sunrise, gracious owner and staff, the company of all the retreaters, and of course coconut shakes it was another moment of both excitement and peace!

kayaking

mangrove canyon!

we explored the most fairytale, magical canyon you can imagine in kayaks, and it was truly a dream come true!
The Ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes
I am so glad that I was able to attend this retreat with my husband. We were able to meet such a beautifully diverse group of people at different stages of life and connect with them throughout the week. I loved that every day we had a water activity of some kind, especially because back home it was cold. This retreat was the perfect balance of activities and leisure time, every day we had a fun adventure and time to get a massage or read or walk around. It was perfect!

private island

sunset dinner & dance party!

on our final night, the bananas staff prepared the most magical, exclusive, yummiest private dinner on a tiny island, where we danced through sunset and splashed around with the bioluminescent plankton. truly, it was a night we’ll never forget!

Thailand, you were so good to us. Exploring your turquoise waters with hearts full of sparkling plankton and tummies full of mango sticky rice is an experience we’ll never forget. Your people are so kind, and your landscape is breathtaking. And your food? Out of this world!
We will, without a doubt, be back!

At The Yoga Underground, we are committed to expanding your perspective by showing you the world – the real yoga takes place outside the walls of the studio. When you travel with us, we will take care of every little detail so all you have to do is show up & adventure your little heart out! There is truly so much magic to experience, and we are here to lead the way.

xoxo,

the yoga underground
